This document constitutes an excerpt of the Technical Design Report for the second stage of the "Any Light Particle Search" (ALPS-II) at DESY as submitted to the DESY PRC in August 2012 and reviewed in November 2012. ALPS-II is a "Light Shining through a Wall" experiment which searches for photon oscillations into weakly interacting sub-eV particles. These are often predicted by extensions of the Standard Model and motivated by astrophysical phenomena. The first phases of the ALPS-II project were approved by the DESY management on February 21st, 2013.

Advancing globular cluster constraints on the axion-photon coupling (2022, neutral): “Some of the region of parameter space we study will be further probed by axion haloscopes and other proposals such as the IAXO family of experiments [73] and ALPS-II [74], although our bound extends to higher axion masses than those experiments can attain.”
Dark Matter Direct Detection with Accelerometers (2015, background): “Again, these fields can also be searched for independently of their cosmic abundance, but with less reach in coupling—in this case with experiments that search for transmission of electromagnetic radiation through a shield [23, 31, 61].”
Stellar recipes for axion hunters (2017, background): “Also shown are the projected sensitivities of the light-shining-through-walls experiment ALPS II [13] and the helioscope IAXO [15].”
New experimental approaches in the search for axion-like particles (2018, methodology): “where NB is the number of magnets and L = LBNB is the magnetic length [436, 441].”
Challenges and opportunities of gravitational-wave searches at MHz to GHz frequencies (2020, methodology): “Using magnets developed for particle accelerators a conversion path length of 100 metres with uniform magnetic field of 5.6 T is quite realistic, and being implemented for the ALPS experiment searching for axion-like particles (Bähre et al. 2013).”
A new bound on axion-like particles (2017, methodology): “Interestingly, the values of gaγ probed by M87 are in the range of future axion experiments, such as IAXO [57] and ALPS II [58, 59], which, moreover, will be sensitive to a much wider range of ALP masses, ma .”
